Friday’s BKFC 54 from Bulgaria features a full slate of the region’s top prospects hungry to make a statement on the biggest platform in bare knuckle fighting. Bulgarian MMA legends Rosen Dimitrov and Georgi Valentinov drop their gloves for the first time in the Main Event and Co-Main Event, respectively. Dimitrov’s MMA record is an immaculate 35-5, and he’s been victorious in his last 13 fights. He’s hunting for the 13th KO of his fighting career against fierce challenger Todor Zhelyazkov in their middleweight matchup. Valentinov is 22-6 as a professional MMA fighter. He’s looking for the sixth KO of his career against Bojan Kosendar, also in middleweight action.
Saturday’s BKFC 55 Main Event sees the unbeaten United Kingdom contender Danny Christie try to improve to 4-0 in the Squared Circle with a fourth straight KO against United States fan-favorite Jared Warren (5-2, 1 NC). Serious title implications are on the line in this intercontinental battle between Christie, the No. 2 contender in the BKFC light-heavyweight division, and Warren, the No. 4 contender in the weight class. In the Co-Main Event, former BKFC UK title challenger Anthony Holmes looks to improve to 5-1-1 in bare knuckle action against Bart Król (2-0, 1 KO) in their highly anticipated middleweight showdown. Saturday's can't-miss event features three of the sport’s top cruiserweight prospects – Dawid Oskar (3-0), Darren Hendry (4-1) and Mason Shaw (6-4-1) – and a full slate of BKFC UK’s most exciting and hardest-hitting fighters.
